Description

Please note that proof of vaccination will be required for entry. ID + vax card or photo of vax card. Masks will be required inside. Kasey Anderson Kasey Anderson broke through into national attention in 2007 with "Don't Look Back" from his sophomore album, The Reckoning, produced by Eric Ambel. Two years later, Nowhere Nights (also produced by Ambel), brought attention from No Depression, Paste, The Village Voice, the Onion AV Club and Counting Crows, who covered Anderson’s song "Like Teenage Gravity" on their 2012 album Underwater Sunshine (Or What We Did on Our Summer Vacation). 
 Substance use and legal issues removed Anderson from the music business (and from the general population) for a number of years but he returned in 2018 under the moniker Hawks and Doves, releasing From a White Hotel, which drew praise from Rolling Stone, WXPN, No Depression, Bob Lefsetz and others. It was not until 2020, though, when a viral political short film used Anderson's song "The Dangerous Ones," that Kasey began to once again be mentioned alongside the best songwriters of his generation. 
 Anderson's newest release, Let the Bloody Moon Rise — produced by Kurt Bloch and featuring an all-star backing band led by Andrew McKeag and Mike Musburger, with cameos from Mike McCready, Jeff Fielder, David Immergluck and Tim Rogers, among others — is, in the words of Hanif Abdurraqib, "a reclamation of the gifts [Anderson] has to offer"; a reminder that "the parts of us that have not been our best were also capable of some magic, and that magic deserves a life, if we can swing it." Matt Sucich Matt Sucich writes songs mostly with a pen and sings them, always, with his mouth. His last name is pronounced Sue.Sitch and his latest LP is called Don't Be so Hard on Yourself. It was tracked over the summer of 2020 in Brooklyn, NY, with co-producer and engineer, Jeff Fettig, and features performances from long-time collaborators, friends, and bandmates, including a special appearance from Adam Duritz of Counting Crows. Sucich’s lyrics are front-and-center in a mostly hushed production from the storytelling of the opening track, “Make Peace" to the vignettes of the album closer, “New Normal" and Dave Holmes, from Esquire magazine, says Don't Be So Hard On Yourself "feels like a good, honest talk with a close friend after a tough year." "Matt Sucich is my favorite New York songwriter. There is something quintessentially New York school about him. I love the way he writes, the detail of it, and the effortless brilliance of his guitar playing" - Adam Duritz, Counting Crows Prior to 2021's Don't Be So Hard On Yourself, Matt's 2019 LP Thousand Dollar Dinners put him on the map. Not the "pop-culture map" you might be familiar with but more like the spiral bound kind you'd find in the passenger seat pocket of your grandfather's Chrysler leBaron, coffee stained, torn at the edges, and sometimes missing complete pages, likely from that one time he used all of Oklahoma as a napkin while eating a bacon egg & cheese sandwich on his way to Long Island and saying to your grandmother, "When's the next time we're going to drive through Oklahoma." "On Thousand Dollar Dinners, Sucich finds himself at his most authentic and honest, and his absolute best" - No Depression On the road Matt Sucich most recently spent the summer of 2021 supporting Counting Crows on their national Butter Miracle Tour. Matt has also performed at Willie Nelson’s Heartbreaker Banquet in Luck, TX, Firefly Music Festival in Dover, DE, Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, TN and Newport Folk Festival in Newport, RI. It’s possible you’ve heard Matt Sucich on the radio, including NYC's WFUV, WXPN in Philadelphia, and Nashville’s Lightning 100. Or maybe Matt’s 2016 single “Montauk,” a favorite of the ever mysterious Spotify algorithm, came up on your weekly playlist...or maybe not. Either way you’re here now, so thanks. CLUB 603 is Baltimore's best kept secret & finest little house concert venue, hosting the likes of Alejandro Escovedo, Will Johnson, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Mark Eitzel, John Moreland, Craig Finn & Wussy among others.
